LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tms DAY.) WELLMAN V. HOWRING. A Pitityln this cause hoped the Lord Chancellor would excuse his taking the liberty of reminding the Court of an appeal heard long ago. His LORDSHIP.—Veiy well, Sir, if you will hold your tongue you shall have your judgment. The oftener you ask for it the less likely you are to get it. Party.---I, hope your Lordship will let me have it soon, for I have been waiting here a long time from my family. His LORDSHIP—I have not forgot it, Sir, but if you think' things are as easily settled as you may ima gine, you are mistaken. Party--Thank your Lordship. Judgment in this case has certainly, like many other cases, been for a long ti me pending, but his Lordship has mentioned it at various times ; and this party having been a constant attendant in court since long before the appeal was heard, and having often asked for judgment since the hearing,. probably was the cause of the Chancellor's telli ng him that the oftener he asked for it, the less likely he was to get it. LUNACY PETITIONS. Mr. at the rising of the court yesterday, asked permission to mention a lunatic petition. His LORDSHIP said he would take the petition and read it, but he would not hear a word upon it then. 'Mr. KOE made a similar application, and his Lordship said the same to S him. This morning his Lordship said he had read both petiti o n s , and he wished Mr. Koe also to read the one he had presented; because that petition, amongst other things prayed the court to order all costs, charges, and expenses, to be paid out of the profits of the luna tic's estate, in the absence too of the trustees. Mr. Kok; said, he was just going to say, that the petitioners did not desire to have any order on that Part of the petition. [Query, why should the Court have been troubled to read and consider a prayer, which, if it had been granted, might have been of vital importance to the lunatic's estate, when Counsel could, with the utmost san g froid inform his Lordship, after he had devoted his time 'and attention to it, when he, who drew that prayer, nOr'the parties, ever wished to 'have that prayer granted 'l] His LORDSHIP granted the other part of the peti tion ; and also the prayer of the other petition, that the Master's report might be. confirmed. WYNNE v. JACKSON.--GAMBLING. • This is a case that has been more than once before the public, and the subject of which arose out of a gambling, transaction. Messrs. SUGDE.N and GIRDLEsTONE, ( tin., ap peared on this occasion for the plaintiff, an Messrs. BORNE and SPENCE for the defendant. The motion Was partly made yesterday, and partly to-day ; and the facts, as we could collect them, were to the following effect :—Early in the year 1820, Mr. Wynne went to dine with Col. Calender, Col. Charity, and a Mr. Fleming, at a house in Bryanstone-square ; after dinner, and as the Champagne passed round , fa theshionablt;s sat down to whist, the result of which was, that Mr. Wynne only lost the trying sum of 6,000/.1 He had not the. money to pay this debt of honour, but he gave his bill to the amount of 2,0001. to Colonel Charity; as his share of the winnings. This bill subsequently got into the hands of Mr. Jackson. At afuture period the bill was renewed, and for the original bill two or three others were given. Mr. Wynne went to France, where Mr. Jackson took pro ceedingS for the recovery of the money ' • but it ap peared that' he- had gone to the wrong Court, that Court not having jurisdiction, and. therefore ,the pro ceeding; there were dropped. Mr. Jackson then brought his action in one of the Courts in London.— A bill was filed by Mr. Wynne to stay the proceed ings at law. Upon the money being brought into Court, the injunction was granted. Upon the de f.endant's account he stated, that he was a stock b ro k er I_ll the c ity ; th a t Colonel Charity having been in debted to him for 1,3001., ,the Colonel put the 2,0001. bill into. his hand to get money for it ; out of which he i was to pa himself, and let'the Colonel have the be e also stated that he had paid Colonel, Charity sums of money at different times; but that he kept his books in such a way,. hat he ,co,iuld not state wh en , for what, or what sums. '1 he cause came on to be heard in the Court below, and tho Vice'-Chancellor dismissed the bill, on the ground that the plaintiff did not prove his allegation that the whole w as a gambling transaction. The parties who were present and examined, did not say a syllable about the gambling. His HONOR w as subsequently moved for an order, calling upon the Aecount a i t ,,G ene.ee ral Money to. Mr. J ac k son . to pay over the The v Chancellor took several days to consid er o f this application , a nd then made the or d er . in Mr. Jackson's favour. The pre sent application was, i n f ac t, an appea l from the last order, made his Honour, because it was to. stop the Paying over of the money to t h e defendant the , pn al eging that he ou 1 I the g it to lave the questi on b etw e en e parties tried at law. His Lonns HIP considered that when money was lodg e d in Court, it was deposited there in the shape of a security ; but it might change its character of se curity into that of payment at the hearin g of a pause ; and lie considered this c ase to depend - entirely , upon this—whether, regard bein g had to the proceedings in this Court of equity, the 'lattice of the case, d the conduct-of the parties, th ere was not here a call an upon th e C o urt in in its decree to have sent this to law ; or whether, on the other hand, the parties were not to be considered as havin g put themselves into the hands of thi s Court, to decide both the law and equity be tween them ? The Vice -Chancellor had ora r r. ed the money to be paid over to the titt. fendant; When money was deposited in Court, ond at p er that money laintiff's bill dismis se d, t h e C ourt could riot order to the plaintiff, nor could it order it to be paid to the defendant, unless it ap peared on something before th e Court that the de fendant was entitled to it as his money. Now having looked into the . orders ,that had' been made in this case, having observed What was not admitted in point of proof, having attended to what was stated in point of tliscovery, and havinglooked at the whole of the Va'Se) it did appear to his Lordship that there was n o such danger of the money being got back again, if upo n the hearing of an appeal it should be ordered to be brought back, that he ought to keep it from getting into the pockets of Mr. Jackson, who had not been Stated to be inseNent. Putting himself entirely, therefore, upon what had taken place in this Court, and at law, upon the- conduct of the parties them selves, and upon the nature of the ease, his Lordship did confirm the Vice-Chancellor's order, directing the Accountant-General to pay the‘money to the defendant. Mr. SPRNCX asked for the costs of this motion. His Lordship considered this motion to come on in the form of an appeal, and that therefore 101. costs ought to be given. The public were but little aware of the vast number of appeals that were heard and disposed of in the, shape of motions of this kind. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT--(Tuts DAT). The Court was occupied this morning in hearing motions of no public interest. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.--(Tats DAT.) Henry Butler, steward to a ship, applied to be dis charged from a debt of 26/. ; he stated that he had been afflicted with a fever and ague for several months past, and had no other means of support during that time but the produce of his wife's industry ; that he had offered a bill for the payment of the , present debt, after his return from the next voyage, but it was refused. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked him what means had he to defray the expences of the present petition. The Insolvent said, that the attorney paid the ex pence out of his own pocket.—He was discharged. John Kyan, a wine-merchant from Cheltenham, was brought up, The CHIEF COMMISSIONER having examined his schedule, read from it the following remark made by the insolvent, viz. attribute my insolvency to the fact of having been supplied with inferior wines by my creditor, No. 2. Mr. Cook said that the cause of the insolvency ought to be erased from the schedule, after some observations from the Chief Commissioner, the insolvent was remanded until the 4th of August. Charles Elliott being brought up, W. ,Spenser, the Keeper of the new Debtors Prison stated, that lie had received an order in the afternoon of yesterday to bring up the insolvent to-day ; subsequent to which he received his discharge from the detaining creditor, and as be thought it was irregular he brought the prisoner up, The Clime COMMISSIONER censured the spiteful conduct of some vindictive creditors, who, in several instances, for a debt of a few shillings keep a debtor for seven or eight weeks in prison, until the fees amount to a considerable sum, they then send the dis charge of the debtor, having gratified their spleen by putting him to expellee which, in many cases, he is unable to pay. After a few suitable observations the insolvent was discharged. Mark Marks, a slopseller from Romford, was op posed by Mr. Richardson, an attorney. Being exa mined by Mr. Cook on behalf of the opponent, he ' said' that he had been in the King's Bench Prison since November last, had been part of the time unwell, had made some money in prison by selling milk, and letting out his room, which enabled him to support his wife and seven children. Samuel Levi also appeared to oppose him for a debt of 2601. The insolvent, he said, had induced him to buy some slops for him, and accept bills to the amount of the debt. After he had' been arrested for one of the bills, the prisoner sold all the property that was in his shop, came to London, and rendered to an action, in which witness was his bail. Under these circumstances he hoped the Court would nut discharge him. But the Chief Commissioner was of a different opinion, and said he did not see sufficient grounds for detaining him.—The indictment was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN.—(Tms DAY.) John Sanders and George Gaskins were brought before the Sitting Magistrate, charged with stealing a large quantity of stone-masons' tools, the property of Mr. Cubitt, the builder. It was stated in evidence, that the prisoner Gaskins went about eight o'clock this morning to a marine store shop in Great Warner-street, Clerkenwell, and asked if they bought tools. On, being answered in the affirmative, he went out and returned in about an hour, accompanied by Sanders, who produced nine teen stone-mason's chisels, and sundry other tools, for which they received 2s. 4fd. Immediately after they had quitted the shop Mr. Cubitt's name was disco vered on the various articles, and a constable was sent for, to whom a desoription of the prisoners was given; and they were found about ten o'clock at the Red Lion, in Rosomon-street. After some observations from the magistrates, on the facility with which such articles could be disposed of, and a censure of the conduct of the purchaser, the magistrate asked the prisoners if they had any defence to offer ? Both prisoners declared they found them under some straw, in Wilmington-square, about 7 o'clock. They are both well known to the police, and were fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STRE E T—(Tuts A pretty-looking girl, named Ras' hut Osborne, was ckarged by a fashionably-dressed young man with " shaking and fighting, and scratching and biting," him. On being asked his profession, he, with an air of great parade, drew a card from his pocket, and presented it to Plank, who read with a pompous air, to the amusement of all present, " James Acus, c himney-sweeper and nightman." All eyes were now fixed on the hero of the brush, who wound up his ora tion, by adding, that sh e was perpetually " hunt ing him up. The prisoner, with an air of perfect intimacy, re proached him from time to time with " you know you struck me, Jem. This, however, Jem denied, and, in answer to Sir G. Farrant's enquiries, denied also having lived with her , but acknowledged her as an in timate acquaintance. The watchman here charged her with "bating" him in a most unfeminine manner ; in reply to which she charged the watchman with having shoved her ; b u t he solemnly declared that he had never shoved a woman in his life. Sir GEORGE—WeII, if you will promise not to hunt this gentleman any more, and can make it up with the watchman, I shall let you god—The watch man replied, that "he did not want a bit at all of her," and the fair Rosins was discharged. During the ancient days of Welsh Royalty, among the t wenty-four ranks of servants t h at a ttended the Court, was one called ~ the King's feet-bearer." This was a younggentl eman w h ose duty it was to sit upon the flo or with his b ac k towar d s th e fire, and hold the King's feet in his bosom all the time he sat at table, or keep the m warm and comfortable. An unh appy occurrence took place at Do ver on Monday. J. Durtnall, in c onsequ ence of family dis agreement, which h as existed for some time, in an agony of mind, ,t/ attempted t o put a period to his exist ence. He deliberatook a pistol, and, failing to procure slugs, cha!ge the piece with a stone, and placed the muzzle in his mouth. The contents of the pistol went out at the right cheek, an d l e ft him much lacerated and incapable of speech. however, th a t hopes are ent erta i ne d of his recovery.-- CinquePorts fierald. We are informed, THE HARVEST. The hay harvest in Monmouthshire is now nearly com pleted, and the wheat harvest is generally commenced, with every prospect of a full average crop, remarkably clean in the straw.—Cambrian. A fine piece of wheat, of above 30 acres, in the old park of Gwerney-Cleppau, near the turnpike-road at Tredegar, the property of Sir Charles Morgan, was cut this week by the worthy Baronet's own labourers, about 60 in num ber (male and female), who were plentifully supplied with cwrw, and an excellent dinner of roast and boiled meat, with plenty of plum-pudding, each day beneath the foliage of the broad spreading oaks in the field.--Cambrian. The wheat harvest has commenced very generally in this neighbourhood, especially between Southampton and Romsey, and, as far as the crop has fallen under our obser vation, it is above an average one; the ears are large and tolerably full. All other descriptions of produce present a blank.—Hants Telegraph. The harvest is unusually early in the South of Devon, it having already commenced in that district. The price of hay is extravagantly high.. An old Devonshire adage says, " A dry summer never begs its bread.---Sherburne Mercury. The harvest has generally commenced in this neigh bourhood (Sherburne.} Every sort of spring crop will be very deficient, particularly b eans an d peas. A few fields are already gathered i n , an & p rov e a very light burden.—Sherburne Mercury. The wheat harvest has this week, as we expected, com menced generally in the neighbourhood of Aylesbury ; and the crop was never- finer or more plentiful, either in corn or straw. In peas there is almost every where a failure.—Bucks Chronicle. It is feared that the heavy rains that have fallen within the last few days will materially injure the standing crops of wheat,' which the late dry weather had rather prema turely ripened.—Macclesfield Herald, Harvest has commenced in several parts of Cornwall. In Meneage both wheat and oats have been cut—our correspondent says, the grain is in general very fine.— Plymouth Journal. In Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, and Glamorgan shire, the wheat looks remarkably well, and in the opinion of several experienced farmers, is more than an average crop; its quality is excell e nt. The hay is short, but good; a few more showers , and there will be no want of after-grass. Upon the whole there is more cause of con gratulation than despondeney.—BrittolJournal. Thursday morning forty shearers were forwarded by Mr. William Thompson, of the Bell-street flesh market, to an extensive farmer in East Lothian, who wrote him that his crop had all got ripe nearly at the same time, and that no bands were to be got there, the people not being pre pared for a harvest that was nearly a month earlier than usual.—Glasgow Courier. WINCHESTER, JULY 20.—The harvest has generally commenced here under the most auspicious circumstances. The turnip crops are few and partial, but the barley in ge ral looks well. The price of cattle is improving. DANGER OF SERENADING. EDINBURGH POLICE COURT.--A genteel looking young man, who had excited suspicion, being found within the walls of a wood-yard in Bailie Fyfe's Close, at an early hour the previous morning, was placed at the bar. Ac cording to his own account—and it had every appearance of truth—he had gone, along with a companion, to pay his devotions to his sweetheart, and had seated himself within her hearing, on the top of a wall which overlooks the wood-yard. Thus situated, and being in a melancholy mood at not seeing the object of his affection, he gave vent to his feelings by chaunting, in a plaintive tone of voice— " The moon had climbed the highest hill That rises o'er the Source of Dee," and coming to the words— " Sweet Mary, weep no more for me," be gave his body an inclination, in conformity to a long and deep cadence, which had the effect of destroying his equilibrium, and he rolled over the top of a shed into the yard, where be lay till he was found by the proprietor in the morning! None of the articles in the yard having been found displaced or missing, he was liberated. We have been favoured, says The Afaeeleffleld Herald, by a Correspondent at Bogota, with some information as to the rivalry between the French and English manufac turers who export to that country. During the financial panic in this country and France, orders were received at Bogota to press the sales of merchandize and manu factured goods as much as possible, and several public sales took place on account of the English and French consignMents. The goods consisted of broad cloths, linens, calicoes, cutlery, china, and leather goods. About seven hundred pieces of French broad cloths were sold at 10 per cent. more than a corresponding quantity of British broad cloths ; both at a sacrifice, the former, however, being only 12 per cent. less than the shit:ping price, and the latter upwards of 30 per cent. less. '1 he cutlery from France fetched about 10 per cent. less than the Eng lish, but upon the shipping prices of this article there was less loss upon the French than the English, which proves the comparative cheapness of production even of cutlery . into France ; whilst the near approach at the sale to the price paid for the English cutlery chews, that the high reputation which we so long enjoyed in foreign markets for superiority, is rapidly sub siding. In linen cloths a decided preference was given to French, and 5 to 10 per cent. more was paid for them ; whilst in calicoes there was a preference for English, equal to 10 per cent. In ornamental leather goods, the French exporter sustained a loss of about 20 per cent. and the English upwards of 30 per cent. . These leading facts are calculated to open our eyes to the state of our manufac turing trade generally, and to put us upon the qui rive for some better means of support than the shadow of a once illustrious reputation. A Correspondent writes from Christiana --(t Our Government looks forward anxiously -to the result of an expedition that was last year sent to Spitsbergen, by two enterprising young Englishmen, who are esta blished at Hammerfest, close to the North Cape. They had already, in the summer of 1824, erected buildings in Ice Sound, lat. 77 deg. 50 min. North, preparatory to their sending the people ; and in April, 1825, the expedition, consisting of 25 men, sailed from Hammerfest, under the conduct of an English man, we believe a surgeon by profession. A vessel that accompanied them brought advice of their safe arrival ; since then no information has been received. Their object seems to be the sea-horse, fishery, and we are informed the country abounds in herds of reindeer, foxes, &c. This, we believe, is the first regular at tempt that has been made at colonization ; if it suc- ceeds, the advantage to Finmark, and the community at large of that distant province, will 'be incalculable, by openin g a new an d profitable source of industry. It is to th e same part i es his Majesty has lately gran t e d the copper m i nes , situate in that province." CAIRO.—It has 240 streets and lanes, 46 public squares, 11 bazaars or covered streets, 400 mosques, 140 schools, 300 public cisterns, 1,265 public-houses, 1,166 coffee-h ouses , 65 p u blic baths, but on l y one. hospital, and th a t a ver y w retched one. In traversing the narrow crooked lanes, one must twist and turn and cling to the houses. Persons called Jais run before people of wealth and rank, an d keep calting out on all sides, " Mind your feet ; to the right ! to the left I" In order to avoid delay, it is the best way to employ an a ss, of which between 20,000 and 30,000 stand ready for hiring, and which are trained by certain breakers to a smart pace.—Sommeri Taschert6uch• FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. The apartments at St. James's-palace, we under stand, are at present being prepared for the reception of his MAJESTY, who is expected in town on Thurs day next. The Princess Sophia Matilda visited the Princess Augusta on Sunday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Princess Augusta took an airing yesterday in her carriage and four, and paid a visit to the Duke of York, at Mr. Greenwood's villa, at Brompton. Yesterday Sir Herbert Taylor transacted military business with the Duke of York. The Royal Duke afterwards took his daily ride as usual on horseback, for some time. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office in Downing street, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, and all the other Cabinet Ministers. The Cabinet Council continued in close deliberation till 20 minutes past five o'clock. The Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Secretary Peel, and Viscount Melville came to town from the Priory, near Stanmore, the seat of the Earl of Aberdeen, to attend the Cabinet. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to town from Charlton, Kent, the seat of Lady Buckingham shire, to attend the Cabinet Council. Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with Mr. Secretary Peel, at his house in Privy-gardens. The furniture in the King's Palace, Pall-mall, has been removing out within these few days to the riding house at the back of the Palace. Yesterday the fur niture in the grand hall was removed out. There are said to be three Ministerial applicants for the vacant office of Postmaster-General--Lords Col chester, Verulam, and Morley ; and to reconcile the jarring interests upon the question, a wish is said to have been expressed from a high quarter, that the ap pointment should be given to the Duke of Manchester, whose period in the Government of Jamaica will soon expire. The Vesstry of St. James's parish have, with a view of lessening the noise of carriages during Divine Ser vice, Macadamised that part of Jermyn-street which adjoins the church. A Memorial has been sent up to the Secretary at War, from the Innkeepers and others of Macclesfield, soliciting an increase of allowance for Cavalry horses, in consequence of the high prices of forage.-- Morning Chronicle. Some of the principal Spitalfields weavers have it, we hear, in contemplation to present his Majesty with some handsome draperies for his new palace, in grate ful remembrance of his gracious and munificent aid towards their distressed workmen. Mr. Grimaldi is at present labouring under a severe and dangerous illness. From the economy necessary to be introduced into some, if not all, the departments of Drury-lane Theatre, the new manager has already acquired the appellation of Half-price. The dry summer is said to have been as usual highly favourable to the breed of all kinds of game : the young partridges and pheasants have long been strong upon the wing, and hares in many places more plentiful than the farmers wish. The Bordeaux Papers contain the following anec dote, which shows the tolerant and benevolent cha racter of the late Bishop of that diocese," My Lord," one of his attendants said to him one day, " here is a poor woman come to beg relief; what shall be given to her ?" " How old is she ?" said the Pre late. " Seventy e ars," was the answer. "Is she very unfortunate? ' pursued the Bishop. On being informed, she stated she was, he ordered her to be given five-and-twenty francs. " Twenty-five francs !" said his attendant, " it is too much ; besides, she is a Jewess." " Indeed !" replied the Prelate, " the case is different ; give her fitly francs, and thank her for her visit." The Duke of Aiguillon commanded in Bretagne, when, in 1758, the English invaded France at Saint- Cut, and was at the head of the army which com pelled them to re-embark with loss. During the con flict, he remained in a mill, out of the reach of shot from the field. On his return towards Rennes his followers never ceased to praise his conduct and bravery, every one of them declaring that their hero had covered himself with renown. " Say—with meal," interposed the Chancellor de la Chatolais.— This biting 'retort was told over again, and from that moment the Duke never ceased to persecute the illus trious statesman, and had it been in his power, would have made his head fall on the scaffold. Hence ori ginated the disturbances in Bretagne, and the fall of the Parliament—a very important event of an insigni ficant cause. The shameful manner in which the Duke repaid the great service which the Chancellor had done him reminds us of the following anecdote : The Chancellor speaking one day of - the Duke of Aiguillon to a Prince esteemed not only for his illus trious descent, but on account of his personal services, said, " He is a knave whom I rescued from the wheel." " Very true, Sir," was the reply ; " and that was by no means the best action of your Hesperus. POWER OF THE SUN'S RAYS.---Mr. Mackintosh, the Contractor for the Works carrying on at Cremile, near Plymouth, having lately descended in the diving bell with, some of his workmen, states, that when the bell, which is provided with convex glasses in the upper part was 25 feet under water, he perceived, to Ins astonishment, one of the workmens' caps smoking: on examining it, he found that the rays of the sun had converged through the glass, and burnt a hole in the cap. He adds, that similar effects had frequently been experienced by the workmen, who now take care to place themselves out of the focal point. We copy the above from a Plymouth Paper, and shall, in future, of course, consider the following well-known lines to have been written by a profound philosopher, and not by some hair-brained rhapsodist, as we here tofore supposed. The Sun's perpendicular height Illumines the depths of the sea, Till the fishes beginning to sweat, Cry, bless us ! how hot we shall be. Smanner whiching his Mira, tr .
